It was Shravan who got ditched by Sumo.Regarding Nirmala giving advice I have one question - who should advertise family planning ? A couple with one kid or a couple with ten kids ? 😆 Obviously the latter knows the adverse effects 😃
It was Shravan whose love and friendship, angst and hope is depicted more.
Then why is Sumo the one who constantly wants reassurance from Shravan ?
Earlier also she had asked Pushkar - Shravan ne kuch bola tha tumse ? In the precap also she asked the same.
Inspite of Shravan telling her in the heat of the moment that he misses her - she still wanted confirmation through SMS.
Did him friend-zoning her on the moonlit night affect her so much that she needs the constant affirmation of his feelings ?
I know they are in different frequency ranges but this one - him saying it aloud - falls in the overlap region for sure.

Suman was the shallow girl who was totally self centered ... as he spent his days with her ... he realized & noticed the changes with her ... he understood the need to 'Fit in" that she had .. he did not know her back story .. on how she got orphaned ... he also saw her as the second citizen in her own home ... probably that cemented his new impressions of her .. & u saw the scales slip ... he had to be in the same orbit as Sumo .. so friendship it was ... something which did not hurt ... something which remained .. even under extreme circumstances ... it stood the test of time ..Like in their case .. they could resurrect their friendship ...But there is love ... theres love which resides in his heart & try how he might he is not able to obliterate the same ... it keeps bubbling to the surface ... he keeps trying his luck so to say .. the coming close .. the mild flirting ... but what he gets is FRIEND ZONE ... DISINTEREST ..( atleast this is what he reads it as)Every time his vulnerability is exposed ... he becomes insecure .. coz he becomes a slave of his emotions .. an emotion he has lost faith in ...U see in this very episode how he veers between the masked macho guy .. to the guy desperately in love in the pushkar scene ... just watch it once again .. u will get the essence of what i am saying here ...His struggle comes out so strong in that scene ... his need to keep the mask which is rapidly slipping ...Even when he gets up .. the desperate need to know that she called him .. justifying that action of why he couldn't see her missed call .. & then donning the mask of DISINTEREST ...its a fab episode coz it revealed all that the writer was alluding to thru out the journey of this serial till date ... 😳
CONVERSATION WITH THE DEVIL
A conversation with the Devil (Satan) telling him I shall soon be reaching Pandemonium. What is Pandemonium? Pandemonium is Satan's den along with Mephistophilis and Beelzebub after his fall from Heaven.
Why do I want to go there? After the delicious splendour and the bliss encountered in Shramanlicious Heaven, you want to go to Pandemonium!!! Few nagging voices asked. Me smacked them. No, its not that I have been thrown out of Heaven, I am going to have merely a conversation with the Devil. Why? Smack... just read on my conversation, you ...😡
How do you manage to have a conversation with the Devil? Smack... this is the Internet age, you nagging voices.😃
DEVIL: Hmm... I just love the fact that the EDKV forum is on fire... waiting for the day to separate these love birds... [Loud laughter bursts from the belly of Mephistophilis, his famous sidekick]. I love chaos, pain and separation, says the Devil to his crony ... no wonder, I love all of Ekta's shows. It starts from somewhere and ends someplace else. All the love stories get lost... Hehe😛
Mephistophilis: Is there a love story in Ekta's story?.. It has naagins and nevlas, at times devils and daayans also. There is another production house (don't know the name, boss) where there is a fly...😛
Me: Stop laughing, you ...(On second thoughts, I agree with you both on Ekta and company. Don't smirk... only Namik's smirk works😎) These two are not going to separate. My angels Rekha, Red, JJKKL have blessed them. 🤗There are other angels around as well ... You Stupid...🤬
Devil: Your Sonny boy (Shrav😈) was waiting for her in his cabin for a long time. And did you see the way his anger, his hurt spilled out ... Hehe.. And then he left. Add to that I have planted my best find (Chachi) who is going to go for the kill straight away (I borrowed this line from Namik... he is droolworthy☺️... Beelzebub fangirling). And Nirmala (I like her she gives advices which she has never followed it herself in the longest time), her advice of giving space' is working in my favour.
Me: You did see him waiting, you saw him pacing and you saw him ranting. You saw him reminiscing about the past where he felt used or abused... rite? But did you not see he waited for her till that time, he waited to have a glimpse of her and that he wanted to hear her voice. Did you not see, you Devil, that in spite of his frustration and hurt spilling out, his anger at her for severing the deal of friendship (love was never mentioned in that sms of Sumo), he blurted out the truth which he has felt, tasted and chewed over the years that of him having missed her and that he continues to miss her. And the unsaid he shall continue to do so. Don't laugh Devil...😡
Only on reading that she wants to close off the account of friendship, he said I have been missing you. Then think Devil, what if she had mentioned about their love? I notice fear in your eyes...😈
Did you see Sumo whose inadvertent mistake made her travel 40 kms at breakneck speed to rectify that mistake? Did you see her confused and crying while going back home in her car? She who realized that there was not that one single incident that she had hurt him but that over the years the pain of Shravan has grown of which she was till date unawares. She who because of her own need to protect herself from giving in to love fearing that it might hurt her again engaged in a story-telling exercise that life's problem can be washed away if she makes it look simple. The story, of let there be only laughter and pain will automatically vanish. And, did you not see Devil that "Realization" is one of the hallmarks of etching, of writing a love story. "Realization" ... the path to knowledge, to greater understanding and for your knowledge, Devil.. the journey towards love...❤️
Devil: You saw only that... you forum member (Oh! my friend Mephistophilis these forum members love them... in destroying their love story I will destroy EDKV forum supporters as well🥳). Well! did you not see that the implications of his "miss you" dialogue only managed to raise her BP, confused her about the personality of Shravan (He is a handsome guy... Mephistophilis angry😡). And Mother hen, Nirmala's advice of space and relationships as comparable to organic growth (Nirmala has plagiarized the thoughts of S.T. Coleridge, the British Romantic poet, btw) will lead that Oxford-returned lawyer to believe that forget love, she is UNINTERESTED even in maintaining his friendship. The word "Uninterested" I got it from Red... ya, so what, if she is an angel...I can plagiarize at will.😈 And it is Pushkar who is giving them lessons on what constitutes their relationship!!! They need to be told! Sumo was willing to marry him and he is anyways always fighting a dual battle between his mind and heart. And they need to be told by a guy who is himself hiding his love.🐷 He needs assurance that she will not leave him like before or like his mother (she is my secret accomplice😉), she needs constant assurance that whether missing you means to be in love or whether it is an emotion associated with friendship!!!
Me: [Rising Anger and Irritation...] Yes, it managed to raise only her BP, as you say... but did you not see Devil that both tossed and turned in their sleep the whole night. And early, the next morning Shravan was looking for her messages and missed calls. He apparently disregarded her message of not to interfere in his life as one of her many kaands. Also, that she has forgotten her glares back at his office. Oh! Why do I see you all tensed?
You mentioned that "space" dialogue of Nirmala shall work in your favour, but what I saw was because of the space/distance from the turmoil that surrounds Shrav-Sumo, Pushakr managed to see the Truth. The truth which remains eternal and unchanging that of their love for each other and another truth which is eternal that you are forever dismissed from Heaven. Space, will destroy whatever love they have for each other, you say? But, then these ten years of distance reveals a different story. Space has only made one to miss her ever the more, to feel her presence in his everyday routine. Where his whole life is permeated by her presence, where his very identity is merged with her so that in thinking he is erasing her name he is actually obliterating himself. Devil, the word, "Obliterate" was explained by Red, one of the triumvirate of Angels whom you plagiarize at will. And the other (Sumo) to realize that whatever and whenever a distance shall spring up between the two, she will wait... till he and she shall meet. When there shall be no more any distances/spaces.
Nirmala is your secret accomplice (I don't like her.. don't smirk Devil😡), you say but this Nirmala will turn out to be one of the biggest weapons for these two in their fight for love and for each other. Ah! I see you worried. Who told this to me? My trio of 3 ANGELS (Red, Rekha and JJKKL🤗). What did they tell me? You fool... you think so I am gonna reveal it to you? Anyways, if you are so interested why don't you read their posts on IF forums? Also, Chachi (you feel I belong to the Devil's party without knowing it. I am not William Blake [British Romantic Poet]😆) but I do know Chachi will act as a cupid for these two. How? Devil, you are the very image of foolishness...
And you mentioned that Pushkar is hiding his own love but working for them to come together... Yes, because again you Devil, you haven't heard the title track which states "Mil Jaane de Jo Bane Ek Dusre Ke Vaaste"... Destiny often works in miraculous ways unknown to man and invisible to dunces like you. Destiny.. you are smirking. Well! this destiny made them meet once for a dinner date, the date which raked up an old story long forgotten. Destiny it was which made the "miss you" dialogue to vibrate and resonate once more in their lives. Destiny which made the message directed to some Shivam land up in Shravan's phone; message which has laid the foundation for realization of Love. And destiny it shall be in the case of Preekar....You are growling, now I see😃
Devil: But, the intelligent Oxford lawyer (His eyes☺️...Mephistophilis burning😡, Beelzebub fangirling) said yesterday that few relationships are so complicated that they are better left unsaid because "Umeedi Jaag Jati Hain"...He is scared of Umeed (hope, desire), then imagine when he comes to know even his friendship was built on false hopes. 😵Forget love... The coffee-table was not given to him by her, mother is relaxing at her maternal home and she has not divulged the fact. Think, think.. his love will fly even before you can cry out Shravan-Sumo
Me: Umeed... yes, expectations, hopes and desires... This boy has forever hoped beyond the framework of existing parameters of relationship. Red, the analytic mind, has enumerated it beautifully and Rekha, my darling Angel can make you understand this better. Read both these posts well, you Dunce. But, taking the cue from my funny irreverent Angel, JJKKL, (yes, she is the one who can reduce the most complex truths into simple aphorisms❤️) Shravan has always exceeded the limits of friendship. He was greedy, you say (Greed being one of the seven Cardinal sins), true (Don't give me moral science lessons, Devil🤢)... he transcended the boundaries of friendship... he wanted more. He expected more, he wished for more, he wanted this story to be changed to love. He who feared, he who was scarred, he who was time and again sidelined by his lady love, he whose parents were forever at loggerheads, he who knew that injection hurts yet went ahead with it because it meant life... healthy life. It was this confused guy whose own fluttering hopes crossed the threshold to create a symphony in the voice of another lonely heart. The music so created between these two lonely hearts is not only to be heard in the secret door knock but also, in a code newly (yes newly Devil... don't go green with jealousy😉) formed language which though inane is their own... washroom code (You surprised😊). Yes, hopes and desires at times fail but, hadn't this hope or expectations not arisen the love story would not have begun in the first place. The story that made you go for the kill (plagiarist... no originality🥱) and for us to be fascinated with them.
Devil: I will separate them, come what may... it shall become like an Ekta story🤬
Me: Civil no longer... smacking at will. How did I manage to smack the Devil? You nagging voices... Smack, smack, smack😎 😈
Hope you all like this conversation. And thank you Red for allowing me to post in your thread
Big hug to Rekha and J
I am left with just one question after episode and the precap -It was Shravan who got ditched by Sumo.
It was Shravan whose love and friendship, angst and hope is depicted more.
Then why is Sumo the one who constantly wants reassurance from Shravan ?
Earlier also she had asked Pushkar - Shravan ne kuch bola tha tumse ? In the precap also she asked the same.
Inspite of Shravan telling her in the heat of the moment that he misses her - she still wanted confirmation through SMS.
Did him friend-zoning her on the moonlit night affect her so much that she needs the constant affirmation of his feelings ?
I know they are in different frequency ranges but this one - him saying it aloud - falls in the overlap region for sure.Trust you J, for pointed questions...Before I unres my post on this thread..I was fascinated by your questions and your points so I thought I will put out my rambling thoughts (they are not answers yet) out there so it can be negated or accepted or built upon by any number of wonderful writers on this forum..
I will preface my thoughts with a statement I believe in about love stories, there is no primacy of feelings in a love story. A love story is the story of two people and their journey in the realisation of love . Even if it may be possible for onlookers to speculate, the importance of who loves more pales next to the actual journey of the lovers. It is never possible to prove ever conclusively, who loves more in a relationship of love and that is the way it should be...Its just that we end up seeing a journey from a certain prism and we root for that character or have strong beliefs about that character. Again..that's natural. The only reason I have focused on Shrav so far in all my posts is his is the character that is getting unravelled first so to speak. Its Sumo who is hidden from us so far...Again the reasons, in my mind, are simple...A POV of a character unfolds or grows with the growth in that character graph...
Slowly Sumo is unravelling, not fully yet slowly...
There were an important scene in the day before yday's epi...
When he drops her back home...Sumo says...I don't know why u are once again going away from me?
This was followed by another important scene in yesterday's episode :
One a recollection and one a statement followed by a feeling of remorse (??)
Her FB shows here recollecting Shravan saying to her, "Jab tumhe kisse ka intezar karna padega tab tumhe pata chalega" and her flippant response
Yet, we viewers know she waited...we may not know in detail how she waited but waited she did!!The Girl who said she will never wait for anyone
This was followed by her realisation that despite all that she did, he waited for her. Viewers are wondering why has she not realised why he waited for her. However, is that the thought uppermost in Sumo's mind? No.. Why ? As she is consumed by the thought that he waited for her, for that girl that Red described so beautifully in this post as someone who lost her chance at fate by her actions of carelessness and selfishness. Her remorse (lets call it that for want of a better word) is for the chance she had lost in the past and had gained back. Is this chance ephemeral? Will it last? At the moment, Shravan's reasons for waiting for her has not consumed her mind...she has no idea of the power she has on him...(it would be a travesty if that became known...a viewer will be left wondering if she did love him for himself!!) She is merely focused on weighing her self-worth at this point.
Now I will draw your attention to a line in an older promo which had Sumo holding her parent's (or mom's) photo and wondering if people she loved would go away from her. This was during the Shrav leaving for London promo and I did wonder that promo did not play out in the narrative. However, these are important pointers to the need of what you called assurance.
Which is why to me these two are in some both broken individuals.
I had written a rambling thought about Sumo vs Suman which I will reproduce below..
Shravan loves the Sumo...thats all he has known...his glimpses of Suman as a teenager are limited to perhaps the doctor visit and fairs, where her Sumo avatar was always ready to bare her fangs.. he has had a closer glimpse of Suman from the time of his return and he has realised there in lies some vulnerability (not necessarily linked to him tho). The Khosla incident for one. The Daal incident is another one where Suman was in action but Shravan was so consumed by his own demons that it was perhaps not evident to him that Suman was in appearance in relation to him. Suman reaching out as opposed to being reached out to. In all interactions of where Suman have been witnessed by Shravan, he has usually taken over charge of the situation. There is that balance in the tenuous relationship that somewhere comes to the fore...When Sumo becomes Suman...Shravan has goaded her to fight. It is also perhaps a path of realisation for Shrav that Sumo is also broken like him and in relation to him. Shrav has always wanted to see Sumo in action, in fact admired her and loved her for it. While he fears his reaction to the Sumo , seeing the Suman in Sumo worries him. He has never wanted Suman to make an appearance "Mujhe nahin laga tha ki tum itni darpok ho" All I can say is I am fascinated by all this interplay...there is going to be dhamaka but have faith in the writers...They will give both the characters voice
Regarding Nirmala giving advice I have one question - who should advertise family planning ? A couple with one kid or a couple with ten kids ? 😆 Obviously the latter knows the adverse effects 😃
LOL..J...😆
